Just somethiung I filed in the back of my mind for future reference. I thought it seemed like an odd thing to do, not knowing the motive behind it and the timing and all.
Quote:The Vatican faces financial scrutiny as cardinals prepare for a pivotal papal election.
In the wake of Pope Francis's passing, the Vatican is once again under scrutiny as it prepares for a new conclave. This time, the financial landscape is particularly precarious, with a reported deficit of approximately 70 million euros. The situation has drawn parallels to the conclave of 1922, where American dollars played a critical role in electing Pope Pius XI. Now, a significant donation of 14 million dollars from former U.S. President Donald Trump has emerged, raising questions about potential influences on the upcoming papal election.
The donation was reportedly made during Trump's visit to the Vatican for Pope Francis's funeral, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This financial boost comes at a crucial time for the Vatican, which relies heavily on donations and revenues from its museums rather than tax income. The Vatican's historical ties to the U.S. are notable, as the country has been one of its largest benefactors, alongside Germany.

Those little things all add up : )
Zelensky's visits to the Vatican are a little suspicious, too. Considering how many billions of dollars are unaccounted for, 70 million euros are a drop in the bucket. Someone must have quite the slush fund hidden away somewhere.

A "coincidence" . . .
Pope Leo in his first sermon has called for peace in Ukraine (and Gaza). Pope Leo even telephoned Zelensky.
Quote:Pope Leo XIV and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have spoken by phone following the Pope's appeal "that every effort be made" for long and lasting peace in Ukraine and that all children be returned to their families.
Pope Leo XIV and Ukraine's President Zelensky have spoken by phone, according to the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni.
The phone call follows the Pope's appeal for peace in Ukraine during his Regina Caeli address from the central loggia of St. Peter's Basilica on Sunday afternoon.
Appeal for true, just and lasting peace for beloved Ukrainian people.
Vatican News - Pope Leo XIV speaks by phone with Ukraine's President Zelensky
One can't help but wonder if a 12 million dollar investment is what is talking here.

Quote:Simony is the act of selling church offices and roles or sacred things. It is named after Simon Magus, who is described in the Acts of the Apostles as having offered two disciples of Jesus payment in exchange for their empowering him to impart the power of the Holy Spirit to anyone on whom he would place his hands. The term extends to other forms of trafficking for money in "spiritual things".

Was he dressed like an altar boy or G.I. Joe?
If he was dressed as an altar boy then it's very suspicious, but if it was the normal G.I. Joe costume then it was probably a routine ass-kissing tour.

This pic is doing the rounds. Here he is with Starmer, Z seems to have his pants on backwards. Care to explain that one?

To recap contributions to the thread (muppets aside : ), we have:
Saint Malachi says 112 popes until the end.
Pope Francis as number 112.
Pope Leo is elected as 113.
Malachi seems to be wrong.
However . . . ,
. . . we have a timeline:
* 21 of April 2025 Pope Francis passes away.
* 29 of April 2025 Trump says he would like to be Pope,
* 2 of May 2025 Trump posts an image of himself dressed as the pope.
* 5 of May 2025 News emerges Trump gave 14 million dollars to Vatican.
* 8 of May 2025 Pope Leo is elected. Pope Leo is the first American pope.
* 12 of May 2025 Pope Leo telephones Zelenski
Coincidentally:
The Vatican has a 70 million euro money problem.
Trump also has a problem. Trump promised to end the Ukraine conflict in one day, then 100 days and so on.
'Simony' is the crime of buying spiritual favours.
Cannon law 149 part 3 says: Provision of an office made as a result of simony is invalid by the law itself.
So, it seems at least that the current pope is invalid and therefore Saint Malachi's prophecies are still intact.

I'm finding the verbiage a bit odd here....
Quote: Now, a significant donation of 14 million dollars from former U.S. President Donald Trump has emerged, raising questions about potential influences on the upcoming papal election.
During Trump's first term the media refused to address him as POTUS, always reporty 'Mr. Trump" this and "Mr. Trimp" that, most often with a quoted reaction from obama, whom they refered to as 'President obama, in response...'.
Maybe journalism really has become that sloppy; I don't know.
I got into the Nostradamus prophecies decades ago, along with Mother Shipton, Babba Vanga and whoever else I could find. They all seemed to have some hits but also quite a few misses. The thing with Nostradamus is they always seem to figure out what his prophecies meant after some event. I don't know how they're going to spin this one to make himright, but it's probably coming.
Mother Shipton made me really wonder if she was remote viewing some future time. I kind of did the same thing when I was a little kid; I imagined things like a TV the size of a wrist watch, a mini TV like device where you could not only talk to someone across the globe but also see themon said device.
I envisioned mini skirts and 'hot pants' over a decade before they arrived on scene. We didn't have a TV when I was growing up, so it was all immagination or daydreaming until I hit my teens and we finally got a TV.
Woe! Sorry; didn't mean to ramble.
